|  Preparing for car show
So there's that car show in May, and I'm wondering about what to do to my car to make it..not so embarrassing when I go.
Right now it's a 98 green sc2.
Things different from stock-
thermal catback with magnaflow muffler
wider, shorter tires (205/50/15)
Injen Short ram intake
Saturn racing pedals
New front speakers and 2 10" subs in the back
yellow wire loom under the hood and truck, peeling painted yellow battery hold-down (previous owner)
what are some things I can add, I would perfer they add functionality also.
Just looking for ideas for things to make it a little better for this and the future
(wish i could get pics)

There's a billion directions to go. Biggest questions are probably your budget, and your preferences regarding peformance vs show. If you're just wanting to focus on the car show, then looks > performance, but you may be more pleased overall with some of both.
Personally, I'd start by ditching the yellow stuff, and replacing it with black or color-matched green. | |

Where can I buy it? I think I remember seeing some at Walmart haha
Low budget, but I can buy stuff. It's not like I'll have to make everything myself.
This will just be a couple little things. Clear sidemarkers on a dark green car? Orange might actually look better there...

wire loom... might be at wal-mart, but more likely at home improvement places (lowes, home depot, menards, etc) | |

I'm pretty sure it's an all saturn show, you can check the thread on this forum.
I'm not trying to get any kind of glory or anything. I just think this is a good "excuse" or motivation to do something. I also recently got a little money from trading in copper, as well as from my grandparents. Saving for college is priority 1, so I need an "excuse" for myself to buy stuff.
any other ideas, or thoughts about clear corners on a green car. Any pics of that?
